Modular programming

Modular programming is a software design technique that emphasizes separating the functionality of a program into independent, interchangeable modules, such that each contains everything necessary to execute only one aspect of the desired functionality.

A module interface expresses the elements that are provided and required by the module. The elements defined in the interface are detectable by other modules. The implementation contains the working code that corresponds to the elements declared in the interface. Modular programming is closely related to structured programming and object-oriented programming, all having the same goal of facilitating construction of large software programs and systems by decomposition into smaller pieces, and all originating around the 1960s. While historically usage of these terms has been inconsistent, today "modular programming" refers to high-level decomposition of the code of an entire program into pieces, structured programming to the low-level code use of structured control flow, and object-oriented programming to the data use of objects, a kind of data structure.

Modular (album)

Modular is the fourth studio album by the Spanish electronic indie pop band The Pinker Tones. It was released in Europe on June 8, 2010, and in the United States and Mexico on June 29, 2010 through Nacional Records.

Overview

The notion of a building was invented by Jacques Tits as a means of describing simple algebraic groups over an arbitrary field. Tits demonstrated how to every such groupG one can associate a simplicial complex Δ=Δ(G) with an action of G, called the spherical building of G. The group G imposes very strong combinatorial regularity conditions on the complexes Δ that can arise in this fashion. By treating these conditions as axioms for a class of simplicial complexes, Tits arrived at his first definition of a building. A part of the data defining a building Δ is a Coxeter groupW, which determines a highly symmetrical simplicial complex Σ=Σ(W,S), called the Coxeter complex. A building Δ is glued together from multiple copies of Σ, called its apartments, in a certain regular fashion. When W is a finite Coxeter group, the Coxeter complex is a topological sphere, and the corresponding buildings are said to be of spherical type. When W is an affine Weyl group, the Coxeter complex is a subdivision of the affine plane and one speaks of affine, or Euclidean, buildings. An affine building of type is the same as an infinite tree without terminal vertices.

Online creation

Online creation, also referred to as OLC, online coding, online building, and online editing, is a software feature of MUDs that allows users to edit a virtual world from within the game itself. In the absence of online creation, content is created in a text editor or level editor, and the program generally requires a restart in order to implement the changes.

Online creation as original content

An aspect of online creation that separates it from "mere game play" is that online creation systems can generally be used to create new content— new objects, new locations, new creatures — rather than simply creating instances of predefined items in the game world. Some have observed that certain forms of online creation — notably those associated with creating new commands — can threaten the stability of the server.

History

Origins

The first publicly available MUD that featured in-game creation of the game world was Skrenta's 1988 Monster.

Concrete (Fear Factory album)

Concrete is an album by Fear Factory, released on July 30, 2002. It contains demos of songs recorded in 1991, and all of them (except "Concrete", "Sangre de Niños", "Soulwomb", "Echoes of Innocence", "Deception", "Anxiety", "Piss Christ" and "Ulceration") were re-recorded a year later on their debut album Soul of a New Machine.

Album information

Although released in 2002, Concrete was originally recorded in 1991 in Blackie Lawless's studios. It was intended to be their first release, but the band wasn't happy with the record deal they were in, so they left their producer, Ross Robinson.

When they were taken to court, Robinson won the rights to the album, and the band won the rights to the songs. So Fear Factory ended up re-recording eight of the tracks from this album for their official 1992 debut, Soul of a New Machine. Fear Factory recorded under the name "Factoría de Miedo" (which is Fear Factory in Spanish) to hide from their label.

Incidentally, Robinson ended up using this album to promote himself, which would eventually lead him to producing Korn, which would make him the most sought-out nu metal producer of the 1990s. The band's record label (Roadrunner) released this album after their (now temporary) breakup to fulfill their contractual duties.
